CHAPTER 7

Victoria's POV

It's currently 6:30pm and the guys still haven't arrived. Amara, Izzy, and I are standing around a small table scrolling through our phones and eating out of a bowl of fries.

"I have to pee so bad I'm about to explode, man." Amara complains while lightly bouncing up and down.

"Then go pee?" Izzy furrows her brows and laughs.

"But what if they get here while I'm in the bathroom?" She complains.

"Mar, the chances of that happening are very slim. I blankly stare at her and she finally gives in.

"Right, okay yeah I really have to go." She says and I signal to Izzy that I'm going with her before trailing behind. We head over to the restroom and Amara races inside the stall. I walk over to the sinks and begin to wash my hands before looking up and seeing an older blonde woman on her phone. She looks oddly familiar but I can't figure out who she actually is. I frown in confusion but decide to just let it go. Shortly after, Amara steps out of the stall and walks over to the sink next to mine. She looks up to the mirror and her eyes immediately widen.

"What is it?" I ask her and she bites her lip. She fumbles a bit before pulling her phone out of her pocket and beginning to write something in her notes. She turns the phone to me and I read the text which says THATS BRADY'S MOM! My immediate thought was questioning how the hell she knew that but then I remembered it's Amara we're talking about here and that girl really does her research. The blonde woman exits the restroom moments after and Amara wastes no time in freaking out.

"If Coleen is already here that means Brady probably is too!" She exclaims. "And so are the other guys!"

"Wait, let's not jump to conclusions." I attempt to calm her down but I know it'd still be no use.

"If the guys are already here how come we haven't seen any of them?" I ask her and she shrugs.

"I mean, we haven't been paying attention to the entrance the entire time we've been here," She states. "And who knows? Maybe the chances of them getting here while I had to pee weren't as slim as you said they were."

Right after Amara said this my phone buzzed with a text from Izzy.

Izzy: um let me know how i just saw brady walking over to the direction the restrooms are in...

I widen my eyes then look up at Amara who's giving me a confused look. She takes the phone from my hands and her face quickly lights up in excitement.

"That's our cue!" She chimes and makes her way to the door. I grab ahold of her arm before she can leave.

"Keep your chill." I remind her and she nods before quickly and forcefully pushing the door. Maybe a little too forcefully.

"Ow!" A male voice groans after the door makes contact with his forehead. Wait, there's no way...

"Oh my god B-, boy! Boy, I'm so sorry!" Amara immediately apologizes and I can tell she's trying extremely hard to keep her composure at the moment.

"No haha don't worry, it's fine. I guess it's kinda my fault for standing right in front of a door." The blonde man laughs it off while rubbing his lightly bruised forehead.

"No it's my fault, I should've been more careful. I'm sorry...again." Amara stutters and gives him a smile.

"It's fine, really. I guess it's also a bit weird I was standing here but I swear I wasn't lurking, that's weird, my mom was here so I was just waiting for her I really wasn't-" He rambles and Amara laughs a little before cutting him off.
